Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic.
These are antiepileptic drugs usually prescribed for post head injury patients.
Valparin is hepatotoxic on prolonged use.
Epitoin causes gum hypertrophy.
Kapra causes weakness and anxiety.
If used in therapeutic doses no serious side effects will ensue.
Child can recover if compliance is good.
Hope this answer will serve your purpose
Please feel free to ask any more queries if required
Take care
